Between news, fiction, talk show, humor and colorful reality TV, there is something for everyone on the Noovo platform this fall. The flagship programs to watch, serious side and frosty side.
FOUR NEW EVENTS
A dramatic fiction, a psychological thriller, a game full of humor and twists, and a debate on current events where you won’t be bored.
Pet
Created by the prolific Simon Boulerice, this eight-episode series features Chanelle Chouinard, a 37-year-old teacher who falls in love with Sandrick, a charismatic but vulnerable 17-year-old student. Their taboo relationship will be, we guess, complex and heavy with consequences. With Evelyne Brochu and Lévi Doré in the main roles, and a solid cast including Sophie Cadieux and Steve Laplante.
Wednesdays at 8 p.m., starting September 14

A criminal case
Céline Bonnier plays Catherine Godin, a mother on a mission: to clear her son, imprisoned for 15 years for a murder he did not commit. At the same time, we follow the story of investigator Benoît Inglis, played by Louis-Philippe Dandenault, who mysteriously remains silent even if he has suspicions about a loved one. The twist: he has a relationship with Catherine Godin… This drama series, which unfolds in eight episodes, benefits from a remarkable cast, including Raymond Bouchard, Marcel Leboeuf, Anglesh Major, Marc Messier and Marie Turgeon.
Tuesdays at 8 p.m., starting September 13

The Game Master
With his assistant Antoine Vézina, Louis Morissette is in charge of the Quebec version of the British game Taskmaster. The concept: five comedians – Mehdi Bousaidan, Ève Côté, Christine Morency, Matthieu Pepper and Jo Cormier – try to count points by each taking up absurd challenges imposed by the hosts. The best moments of their adventures, which take place outside the studio under the supervision of Antoine Vézina, are presented in front of an audience. As for the winners, they win, as you can imagine, wacky prizes that live up to the concept.
Thursdays at 8 p.m., starting September 15

The debaters of Noovo
In addition to its news bulletins, Noovo offers Les Débatteurs, a new program run by Michel Bherer. The concept: submit a hot topic to the points of view of a team of seasoned debaters representative of Quebec’s diversity, and offer 30 minutes of full-bodied discussions to viewers. A frank and direct approach to highlight current issues.
Monday to Thursday at 10:30 p.m., after Le Fil 22, from September 12
FOUR EXPECTED RETURNS
Julie Snyder’s show, Arnaud Soly’s sketches, a delirious singing contest – and OD under the palm trees.
The week of the 4 Julies
The host needs no introduction, just like her colorful style, which is never predictable or conventional. For the fourth season of Noovo’s flagship talk show, Julie Snyder continues its momentum with an unprecedented point of view on the news, in-depth interviews, top-notch guests and a solid team of collaborators from various backgrounds.
Monday to Thursday at 9 p.m., starting September 12

Club Soly
We can say that the second season of this humorous meeting is more than expected. The sketch comedy led by Arnaud Soly and his talented acolytes – Julien Corriveau, Virginie Fortin, Katherine Levac, Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, Richardson Zéphir, LeLouis Courchesne, Anas Hassouna, Marie-Ève Morency and Daphné Létourneau, phew! – sets its sights on current events, major media trends and their effects on the public.
Mondays at 7:30 p.m., starting September 12

Who can sing?
Phil Roy hosts the Quebec version of the South Korean musical game I Can See Your Voice, which has been adapted for more than 20 markets. The concept of the new episodes remains the same: contestants must identify the bad singers – and the good ones – among six mystery contestants. Without hearing their voice, since the performances of the performers, like the lip synch, are done with voices other than their own. Before making their final decision, the participants, who have three “rounds” to get an idea of the singers, are supported and advised by four guest panelists, including Rita Baga, Dany Turcotte, Christine Morency, Fouki and Philippe Laprise.
Mondays at 8 p.m., starting September 12

Double occupancy Martinique
After touring the world and then spending two intramural seasons in Quebec (Occupation Double chez nous) and British Columbia (Occupation Double in the West) due to the pandemic, the most popular dating show du Québec takes us on a journey again, this time in the enchanting setting of the French West Indies. Jay Du Temple, the host of the popular reality show, guides a handful of singles in search of love. Undisputed fans can also follow Fridays OD, during which host Félix-Antoine Tremblay and a panel of commentators will review the highlights of the week.
OD Martinique, Sunday to Thursday at 6:30 p.m., from September 11
OD Fridays, Fridays 6:30 p.m., starting September 23 www.noovo.ca/emissions/occupation-double-martinique
